Pink is all the rage these days, just like unicorns! While we love the color pink, we wanted to see if there was any deeper meaning for this color. It turns out pink is a symbol for love and peace. It represents femininity, the heart chakra and is a symbol of spring. Perhaps people are drawn to pink right now because as the world gets smaller and we all come together our desire is for peace, love and big hearts.

Here are a few things you can add to your spiritual practice that bring pink into your world...

MANDALA PRINTED TAPESTRY

The mandala is a symbol in Buddhism and Hinduism representing the universe. These gorgeous round Indian mandala tapestry is perfect for meditation, the beach or yoga. Poly/cotton blend means it doesn't shrink and you can wash and go. Bring spirit to your workout or your relaxation with this intricate mandala design. Namaste!

SIGNATURE BLEND ESSENTIAL OIL

Essential oils have been used in prayer and healing for centuries. They can help to open the mind during meditation, having energizing or calming properties, and can help release chemicals in the brain that aid what your soul needs. Using the finest therapeutic grade essential oils of pink grapefruit, lavender, geranium, sweet orange, patchouli, sandalwood and amber resin, this luscious blend invokes a sense of peace and tranquillity wherever you may be. We call it the ultimate "hippie oil"! Place a few drops around your room, in a diffuser, or on your skin. $30, shop here

FAUX HUMAN SKULL

Before you scream at us for being morbid, realize that in Buddhism and Hinduism the skull is a strong spiritual symbol. The Buddhist consider emptiness as a quality of the universe and the skull is the ultimate symbol of emptiness. It's a good thing. To Hindus this is the natural progression of life and the skull symbol is often used on necklaces and malas to representing the ability to conquer death. These faux human skulls are made from resin and the pink takes it to a whole new artistic level. We love these in your office or living room as a reminder that each experience is new to you! 7" tall. $39.99, shop here

Mala beads, or prayer beads, are used in meditation to count your mantras. This beautiful mala is handmade with rhodolite garnet beads. These beads represent the heart chakra and receive and radiate the frequency of love. The pink tassel is an added touch of pink joy. $325, shop here
